Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 323

Why did Ainengqi put the seven regiments in the first two rows?Sending them out after they've finished a shot, and flanking the enemy?
Because the Seventh Regiment is all Manchurian soldiers who are good at riding and shooting, they were reorganized from the original Manchu Eight Banners elite. After shooting with muskets, and then detouring to the enemy's flank, their riding and shooting abilities can be brought into full play.

These Manchu soldiers used heavy arrows. At such a short distance, the accuracy and lethality of the heavy arrows were enormous.

"Ahh..." The Cossack cavalry, who were charging forward with all their strength, suddenly screamed and fell down.

Since the Seventh Regiment shot arrows after staggering with the enemy for a certain distance, most of the enemy's flanks had been exposed before their eyes. With such a dense formation, almost no arrows were shot in vain.

After one arrow was shot, each soldier quickly drew out another arrow, and after aiming for a while, they shot out quickly, and another group of enemies screamed and fell down.

At this time, the shooting speed of bows and arrows is much faster than that of muskets, which is one of the important reasons why bows and arrows still have a stage.

On the other side, another team from the Seventh Regiment, which had detoured to the enemy's flank, also fired fiercely at the enemy.

At this moment, the soldiers led by Ainengqi in three rows also pulled the trigger under his order.

"Bang bang bang..." The Cossacks, who were only about twenty feet away from Ainengqi's headquarters, dropped another piece like a dumpling.

Erikesha only felt a pain in his left arm, and almost dropped the rein.

He looked down and found that the clothes on his left arm had been cut into a long cut, and blood was flowing.

Apparently, a bullet flew past here just now, fortunately it only grazed the flesh and didn't hit the bone, otherwise the consequences would be very serious.

Enduring the scorching pain, Eriksha continued to charge his horse with a cold gaze, without any drop in speed. He wanted to use the spear in his hand to pierce the commander of the Ming army on the opposite side.

Suddenly, his eyes focused, and he saw that the soldiers of the Ming army not far from the opposite side took out a round object in their hands, lit it, and then threw it out without hesitation.

Balls flew towards them with black smoke, Eriksha and other Cossacks all changed their expressions, not knowing what would happen.

"Boom boom boom..." Due to the distance, most of the balls thrown by the Ming army exploded in front of the Cossacks, and only a few of them were thrown into the crowd.

However, what surprised the Cossacks was that the lethality of this thing after it exploded was not great.

As these balls exploded one after another, thick black smoke rose up one after another, accompanied by a very pungent and choking smell.

The Cossacks wanted to avoid it, but the speed of the impact was too fast and the distance was too close to avoid it.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The Cossack rushing through the black smoke couldn't help coughing violently, his eyes were so smoked that he couldn't open his eyes, even the war horse couldn't help snorting, and his eyes were constantly drooling tears.

"Tom tom tom..." The cavalry and war horses were greatly disturbed, and their direction was uncontrollable, so one after another the war horses collided with each other, knocking people upside down.

And these cavalry and war horses who fell to the ground became a stumbling block for the cavalry who followed. These cavalry and war horses were also smoked and choked, and then they were tripped and flew up.

Seeing the enemy cavalry fell into a ball, Ainengqi was very pleasantly surprised. He didn't care to continue observing, and immediately gave an order to divide his troops into two groups, one left and one right to detour towards the enemy's two wings.

In fact, the ball thrown just now was a damage move that Tangning, the King of Light, came up with. He made some improvements to Zhentianlei so that it could produce more black smoke. human smell.

The King of Light also gave this thing a unique name: tear gas.

Indeed, I was recruited, but I didn't cry.

I thought this thing could only play a little disruptive role on the battlefield, but I didn't expect it to have such an effect.

Also taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, Ainengqi led the remaining cavalry to quickly avoid the front of the enemy's attack, and turned to the flank to join the previous Seventh Regiment and Third Battalion.

The Seventh Regiment is Manchurian soldiers, while the Third Battalion is Mongolian soldiers. They are all good cavalry and archers, and they continue to shoot arrows at the enemy crazily. The sudden confusion of the enemy also gave them a better chance.

The last soldiers led by Ainengqi were all Han soldiers. Because their cavalry and shooting abilities were not as good as those of Manchurian and Mongolian soldiers, they were not equipped with bows and arrows, and the most practiced ones were muskets.

So they rode their horses while loading bullets, and then freely aimed at the target and shot.

Erikesha sniveled, burst into tears, finally opened his eyes, but found that the Ming army in front had already escaped.

After spending so much money, they managed to rush over, trying to destroy the formation of the Ming army in one fell swoop. As a result, the Ming army didn't accept the move at all. After firing their guns and throwing that damn thing, they ran away directly.

Are there such cavalry?
Did the cavalry come to escape?A real cavalry should charge towards the enemy without hesitation, and crush the enemy directly with his bravery.

However, the number of cavalry in the Ming army was much larger, and they did not dare to confront them head-on. This is simply a disgrace to the cavalry.

Although he was thinking so and cursing so in his heart, Eriksha knew very well that he was being teased miserably now, and the Ming army also perfectly avoided the strengths of the Cossack cavalry, and then used various losses to target the weaknesses of the Cossack cavalry. trick.

Although shameless, it turns out that it is very effective.

In a hurry, Eriksha wiped away his tears and snot, and indignantly ordered the team to move on, avoiding the flank attack of the Ming army, and then turned around to complete the team.

The horses of the Cossack cavalry were more maneuverable, so even if the Ming army turned in time to pursue them, they could not catch up, so they could only watch them complete their turn.

But Ainengqi was not in a hurry, knowing that he couldn't catch up, he didn't continue to chase, but opened a distance to confront him.

In other words, the two sides have returned to the original state, but the strength of the Cossacks has been reduced by more than half, while the losses of the Ming army are minimal.

In the field of vision of the binoculars, all he could see were the corpses of Cossack soldiers and war horses. It was difficult to find one from the Ming army. Eriksha couldn't help but want to spit out old blood.

What's even more irritating is that facing the Ming army on the opposite side, Eriksha no longer had the courage he had before, because he was afraid of encountering the trick just now again, and he couldn't afford it anymore.

He looked at the battle on the other side, and the fight was still inextricably linked. It seemed that it was impossible to get support.

The bad thing is that the third intact hollow phalanx of the Ming army has already started to support from the side.

In other words, not only will they not be able to get support from the other team, but they will also be in great danger themselves.

Erikesha's original plan was that after his troops defeated the Ming army's cavalry, they would immediately support the team attacking the Ming army's hollow phalanx, and completely defeat the Ming army's infantry in one fell swoop.

But now I didn't expect that not only did they fail to defeat the cavalry of the Ming army, but they suffered unimaginably heavy losses.

Erikesha didn't dare to attack anymore, but he was unwilling to admit defeat at this point, and wanted to wait for the Ming cavalry to take the initiative to attack.

As if knowing what Erikesha was thinking, Ainengqi fulfilled his wish, organized the team into six rows again, and then slowly advanced towards the enemy.
